Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients (Dough):

  • 3 cups (750 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) warm milk
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted

Secondary Ingredients (Flavor and Binding):

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons or 7 g) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Filling and Topping Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Craft a versatile dough by blending flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a spacious mixing vessel. Incorporate warm milk, liquefied butter, and a single egg, stirring until a cohesive texture emerges.
  2. Transfer the dough onto a flour-dusted surface and knead methodically for 6-7 minutes, developing a silky, resilient consistency. Nestle the dough into a greased container, drape with a protective cloth, and allow it to expand in a cozy environment for approximately one hour.
  3. While the dough rises, create a vibrant raspberry reduction by simmering fresh raspberries with sugar and cornstarch in a compact saucepan. Stir consistently until the mixture transforms into a luscious, thickened compote. Set aside to cool completely.
  4. Unfurl the risen dough into a rectangular canvas measuring roughly 12×15 inches. Lavish the cooled raspberry mixture across the surface, maintaining a slight perimeter around the edges.
  5. Carefully roll the dough into a tight cylindrical form, then slice into 12 uniform segments. Arrange these swirled delicacies in a generously buttered 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Allow the rolls to undergo a secondary proofing, covering them and letting them rest for 30 minutes to achieve optimal volume.
  7. Warm the oven to 350°F and bake the rolls until they acquire a golden, appetizing complexion, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  8. Simultaneously prepare a luxurious glaze by whisking cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
  9. Once slightly cooled, cascade the creamy glaze over the warm raspberry rolls, creating an irresistible finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure warm milk is between 105-110°F to activate yeast perfectly without killing it.
  • Knead dough until windowpane test passes, indicating gluten development for soft, fluffy rolls.
  • Cook raspberry filling until it’s thick like jam to prevent soggy rolls and maintain clean swirl pattern.
  • Swap raspberries with blueberries, strawberries, or mixed berries for variety without changing technique.
